Search Results: too close of friends

So a close family member passed away about a week ago. I told my friends what I was dealing with and they all seemed to understand, including one that I owed money to. I gave her a heads up that i might be a bit late on the money, but that she'd get it by this past Friday (which I did). Thursday night, a mutual friend jumps down my throat about "oh, why didn't you pay so and so her money yet?", which I took as really insensitive, given what I've been dealing with lately.

I went out with an ex guy that used to date me that’s a fuckboy that used me for sex, but I hung out with him as friends only just to be friendly on good terms.
but I regret seeing him as for most of the time he would walk far away from me, while all girls there at the shopping place walked slow happy talking next to a guy, walking as slow as possible enjoying company. But this guy walks too fast and I was literally walking alone for most of the time.

but there were many boys staring at me and one tall boy liked me and made my ex , jealous. So that made me happy and gave me hope that one day when I finally get a boyfriend , he’ll love to walk next to me slow talking happily

If a friend or relative invited you to a commitment ceremony (not an actual wedding) would you come or not?

The reason I've asked if because my parents were invited to a relative's commitment ceremony recently. It was a private invitation with just them and their close friends that knows about their situation. The woman is disabled and gets benefits from that. If they get married, they'll remove her from those benefits so her boyfriend is trying to work harder to get promoted so he can add her to his policy, they'll get married afterwards, she'll continue getting benefits through his insurance and they can file taxes together. They have no kids but would like to adopt.

Due to the specific nature of the case, my parents are coming to the invitation. However, if it were done for the simply reason of hating marriage or the typical ''I want marriage and he just wants a commitment ceremony'' and no one is struggling financially nor suffering anything, other than refusing to married, then nope. In that case, my parents wouldn't be driving 2 hours away, excusing themselves from work and go out of their way for a ceremony that's not an actual wedding. I think he same too. It depends on why. I'm not missing school for nothing.

My best friend [19M] and I [18F] are pretty close. He actively makes plans to meet up, stays on call with me throughout the day (initiates it himself, always) for no apparent reason, teases me, compliments me, sends cute flirty reels AND we flirt quite a bit over text too. In a lot of ways, he treats me like he's my boyfriend.

He often sends me couple reels/memes that say "when my girlfriend..." etc, but today he followed one of those up with a text saying "so you're my pretend girlfriend till i find an actual girlfriend to send relatable memes to." Why would he say that? Was it a dumb way to flirt since we have no labels, or was that him setting a boundary?
